A beautiful, resort-style suburban city, Winter Park is conveniently located just 30 minutes or so north of Orlando and 45 minutes west of the coast and its spectacular beaches.
Here are some of the many reasons why Winter Park stands out from other cities:
- It’s a nature lover’s delight
Boasting a mature tree canopy, Winter Park is a refreshingly green city with plenty of open spaces. It has more than 70 parks and a gorgeous chain of lakes encompassing over 2,700 acres.The Winter Park Chain of Lakes is a series of beautiful lakes, some of which are connected by navigable canals. These include Lake Maitland, Lake Osceola, Lake Virginia, and Lake Mizell. The lakes are a popular boating, fishing, water-skiing, and wildlife viewing destination. Boat ramps are located on lakes Virginia and Maitland.
- It’s pedestrian and bicycle friendly
Winter Park is well on its way towards developing a comprehensive network of walking and biking trails. In 2015, it earned the bronze-level Bicycle Friendly Community designation from the League of American Bicyclists.
- It’s a cradle of art and culture
The city boasts a wealth of museums and galleries. These include the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art, Albin Polasek Museum and Sculpture Gardens, Cornell Fine Arts Museum, Hannibal Square Heritage Center, and Casa Feliz Historic Home Museum. Â
Events like the Bach Festival, the Florida Film Festival, and the Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival attract artists and art lovers alike.
- It’s home to well-regarded educational institutions
Winter Park is served by top-notch schools in the Orange County and Seminole County public schools districts. Winter Park High, for example, received a Silver medal from U.S. News & World Report’s ranking of the country’s best high schools in 2015.
The city has also been home to Rollins College since 1885. The liberal arts college has consistently been ranked the #1 or #2 regional university in the South by U.S. News & World Report since 1996.
